[R-gui] new version of Rcmdr

[John Fox]

Dear list members,

I've prepared a new version of the Rcmdr package that I announced to the 
list several days ago. From the CHANGES file:

     Version 0.6-0

     o Rather than being hard-wired, menus are now configured in the 
menus/Rcmdr-menus.txt file and can be modified or supplemented by the user 
(suggested by Frank Harrell).

     o Allow font-size selection via options("Rcmdr.fontsize") for text in 
the log window.

     o Set pager to tkpager (suggested by Martin Maechler).

     o Added "Exit" menu items; intercept R Commander window close 
(suggested by Martin Maechler).

     o Cleaned up menus and dialog boxes.

     o Added ability to load log files.

     o Reorganized items on File and Data menus (suggested by Martin Maechler).

     o Added point-identification to scatterplots (suggested by Bob Andersen).


The most significant change is the first, since it makes it relatively 
simple to customize the menus. The ability to load as well as to save log 
files provides a scripting facility.

As before, I'm interested in comments and suggestions. I plan to submit the 
package soon to CRAN. You can still find the package, and a version 
compiled for Windows, at <http://www.socsci.mcmaster.ca/jfox/Misc/Rcmdr/>.

Thanks,
  John
